cadillac lover, obviously, it would be great if all naturopathic remedies worked. then everyone would feel fine. it's definitely better to taper off the meds while incorporating a healthier diet.

i ended up seeing a well-known naturopath in my city over the summer. my parents paid the $400 for the apt. plus all the money for her remedies- about $150. i tried her program for 3 days and got so sick that i was in the hospital for 7 days. i remember the morning i went to the hospital, i had gone to the bathroom 15x during the night, and that was on top of my 30x that day. i couldn't believe how the stuff she gave me made me that sick because i never felt worse.

just be careful with starting new things. if you'd like, i can give you a list of the things she gave me so you have an idea of what i was on.

Im still here hah. Didnt stop any meds im not an idiot :). Thx everyone. Been working on a pretty strict all natural organic diet. Feeling better, been having a lot of gas more than bowels in the past 2 weeks. Bowels are at 1-4 a day no blood. I feel like i always flare around winter time idunno. Praying for remission!

This 'doctor' should be reported. Really. If he's truly a doctor he should be reported to the AMA.

I'm glad to hear you're doing better. I was worried something bad had happened, since you hadn't been back! I hope you make it to remission!

You can get the crazy "doc" out of your life pretty easy. Getting the unfortunate influence of the crazy mother-in-law out of your life will be harder.

q: I use canasa a lot, feel like they help with the urgency. This flare i'm having is not like one i've had before. Usually I start flaring, it gets real bad, then it gets better. I've been flaring for over 2 weeks now but have not gone to the bathroom more than 5 times a day since it started. For about 5 days straight I would only go once in the morning, then have a lot of bad smelling gas all day. I ate something I shouldn't had 2 nights ago and yesterday didn't have much gas but went about 5 times and my bowels were much more loose. It was either the organic grass fed sirloin burger, or some dairy free rice milk ice cream, either way i'm not touching either again!! Been much better today.
